The Chapel of Our Lady of Bellefontaine

A sanctuary between heaven and earth

Author: Francis STUCK

In southern Alsace, on the edge of the Territoire de Belfort and away from the main roads, stands a chapel, a timeless sanctuary that invites introspection, contemplation, and spiritual meditation. One enters it as one enters silence, and there one perceives the magic of the mystery of faith. Bellefontaine embodies a chapter of the tumultuous history of this place, which once marked the border between France and Germany, subject to the conflicts and upheavals of our civilization's grand narrative.

The modest sanctuary perpetuates the miracle of the legend of a hunter who was saved when, wounded, he washed his wounds in the water of the Bellefontaine spring.

In this world that is falling asleep in a materialism devoid of landmarks, we invite you to discover a historical book enriched with chronologies, testimonies, iconography, religious and mystical faith in order to understand the invitation to awakening through prayer in an extraordinary place of spiritual vigilance.
